Yeah Jim, that was only one of three foot+ storms we got over this winter season. Actually the second two we got were 17 and 21 inches! We had countless snow events of under a foot also. Near record snow total here this year! It was almost all gone in mid Feb. after that week and a half of 40s and 50s with bright sun. Then we promptly got slapped with another 17 inches to replace it. Thank God that's finally almost all gone now too. Sadly they say the river flooding situation will again set records this year. Much of it will be finding its way south and I hope you guys in Iowa don't get too much damage.
How do you attach that weather thing to your posts? I'd do it if I knew how. Not sure how accurate it is compared with exactly where I am though, at least for overnight lows during winter. The highs are probably pretty close though.
And Wxman- Sorry to hijack your thread and drift off-topic! Please do keep us updated on how this cold front hits your area and what you end up doing with all your trachies.

mnpalms,
Just posted a thread on the cold. Be aware you might be in danger too. NWS is saying 9F here and weather models are showing both you and me WELL below zero.

your palm is looking good. The leaning trunk trait is from the nani tals.....right? I grew some T. takils from RPS seed (2000 or 2001) and they grew with leaning trunks. Come to find out they are now called nani tals not the true takil.
